    They need to make a season 2

    Great show, easy to watch and get invested in. Your routing for the team all the way through, nice mix of characters and plot lines, could definitely watch afew more seasons.

    A must for every tech geek

    I happened to see the preview of Betas when I was just browsing through IMDb. Being an engineer myself, when I read the summary, the next thing I did was put it on download. Considering it had just got 6.0 rating on IMDb after screening of the pilot, I still had my hopes high considering the content of the show. And boy, it did live up to my expectations. Michael Lehmann (True Blood, Dexter) directed and produced the pilot. The cinematography is good and Lehmann has done a really good job. All Moby fans out there, he has a special appearance as well. I'm sure y'all will watch the pilot and ask for more, that's what this show guarantees.

    A breath of fresh air

    I found myself laughing in many parts of this beautiful comedy, but I also noticed unlike others I started to care for the characters, cared more for them in one pilot than I have ever an entire season of the big bang theory. I look forward to the rest of the season, and hope that the characters achieve their dreams. The show shocked me when I originally watched it, I was expecting something mediocre but instead I got something that was new. This is possibly the most original thing I've seen in years. If you are a fan of the Big Bang theory any other nerdy comedy I can almost guarantee you will love this show, be warned though the pilot is the only thing out, a new episode won't come out till the end of November. Also you do need Amazon prime to view it, as it is an exclusive much like "oranges is the new black" is for Netflix
